First Business

Imelda Dooley is scared. Really scared. She's played hard and fast and now she's been caught. She's pregnant and she's on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. And it's not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders.

But she still has to watch her daughter's life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution.
